Below are some pictures and a video seemingly depicting Gaddafi's last moments. Warning - they can be graphic.

Whazzzaaaaah!!!

Get a room, you two.

A people-centric approach, I guess. My personal POV on these things is issue-based, and I think everyone is good at some field or other. To ignore them would cause one to miss out on the gems one can occasionally find in their comments, assuming one can disregard all the crap in the mean time...

I hope his tombstone will read iDead.

No you can't.

That'd be a sweet arrangement. Live as long as you like, and when life eventually gets boring, off yourself or start taking insane risks for the kicks, one of which will eventually kill you. Sign me up. I'm no psychologist, but I wonder how big of a part the certainty of finality plays in the...

On the other hand, the "always healthy" part might indicate that they are immune to at least permanent physical harm, so it could be that they are immortal in the full sense of the word. Assuming sentience and self-awareness, it is indeed intriguing to speculate what their society might look...

And I could be the corrupt customs chief who allows sauna pants to be smuggled in in exchange for chocolate chip cookies.

They do, but I've found that the aroma of dirty clothes carefully arranged on the floors and furniture around the apartment serves well to camouflage the stench of dirty dishes.

If the lights are off in the kitchen, do the dirty dishes really exist? *sigh*

Well, at least in terms of consequences due to official military policy, homosexuals now seem to be in the clear. Whether or not coming out and serving openly is really a smart thing to do in the less official spheres of the military seems to me to be another matter entirely, and perhaps one...

I would like to offer you some words of encouragement, as some of the posters here have. But there are two problems with that. 1. I don't really know you, and do not know how you take offers of sympathy from near-complete strangers. Hence, I don't know if it is really appropriate for me to...

You think so? Personally I read it as his insight on an instance when it is right and just to conduct war, and not as saying that war is the only way to advance what one thinks is right.

@Gasbandit: that is the most oft-quoted version of Mill. But I believe some might think that the full quote carries a slightly different meaning, when the circumstances of the affair are taken into account.

I'm pretty sure everyone is sick and tired of reading the quote below, but I thought I might still bring it up, on the off-chance it might be useful somehow:

While naturally not permissible, I think things like this were only to expected, and might well get worse. Though the transitional government in Egypt has stated that they will continue to honor the terms of the peace agreement with Israel of 1979, the treaty seems to be very unpopular with...

Wow. Assuming Gaga was genuine and not an alt, I suppose there are no vacancies here when an almost-new poster gets that kind of a barrage right off the bat over some slightly curious turns of phrase. I guess I'll need to brush up on my english, lest the native speakers here start jumping the...

Damn. For someone who has been through what you just said in this thread... Your approach to life is commendable. For what it's worth, kudos to you, sir.

This is a valid way of looking at it. Another take on a "bigger picture" view might be to think that your family needs a good husband and father / wife and mother beyond the age of 40 more than they need to be filthy rich. And believing that the best gift a parent can give to their children is...
